IIII. “Healing Through Sensation”

Theme: Trauma-informed pleasure

Tone: Gentle, validating

Letting the Body Lead

We’re taught to think our way through everything—

Relationships. Healing. Desire. Even sex.

But the body? The body whispers truths the mind won’t admit.

Sensation is a sacred language.

It doesn’t lie.

It doesn’t negotiate.

It simply is.

🔥 Why sensation matters:

When we slow down and listen to what’s happening beneath the surface—

the tight jaw, the soft belly, the skipped heartbeat—we begin to uncover what we’re really feeling.

Pleasure. Discomfort. Longing. Resistance.

It’s all valid. It’s all information.

Instead of asking, “What should I do?”

Try asking,

✨ “What do I feel?”

✨ “Where is it in my body?”

✨ “What does it need from me?”

This is heading through sensation.

🌙 A Practice: 3-Minute Sensory Drop-In

1. Get still. Feel where your body touches the ground or the chair.

2. Close your eyes. Bring awareness to your skin, breath, heartbeat.

3. Ask: Where do I feel the most aliveness?

4. Let that part of you lead. Let it move, stretch, or breathe in a new way.

5. Stay curious. No performance. No pressure. Just presence.

💌 Why this matters

Sensation is where consent begins.

It’s where pleasure lives.

It’s the compass that brings you back to yourself.

You don’t have to figure everything out to move forward.

Sometimes, you just have to feel your way through.

Head through sensation. The rest will follow.
